Whilst it is tightening up at the top of the A-League table, the fact remains that Auckland FC are the team to beat this season and with 5 wins from their opening five games, question marks are circling as to who can actually stop them.
Melbourne Victory, Wellington Phoenix and Adelaide United are leading the chase and with plenty of football still to be played this term, anything can happen.
Down at the bottom, Brisbane Roar did manage to pick up their first point of the campaign last weekend, pulling them level with Perth Glory and both sides have work to do this season.

A-League Round 7 Predictions
—
Brisbane Roar vs Melbourne City
Brisbane Roar ($3.10)
Melbourne City ($2.25)
Draw ($3.75)
It has been a chastening start to the season for Brisbane Roar and things don’t look to be getting too much easier, as they host Melbourne City.
A point against Macarthur last weekend will provide a crumb of comfort for Brisbane but they are a side low on confidence and they need their luck to change quickly.
Melbourne City meanwhile are starting to click into gear following a slow start and a top 6 finish will be their minimum expectation this season.
This will be a tight one, but Melbourne City have the momentum, and they should come out on top here.
Betting tip: Melbourne City to win the match ($2.25)
Melbourne City to win 3-1
Auckland FC vs Wellington Phoenix
Auckland FC ($1.91)
Wellington Phoenix ($4.20)
Draw ($3.60)
Table topping Auckland FC are the team to catch, and Wellington Phoenix make the trip across New Zealand that everybody has been waiting for.
Nobody expected Auckland FC to start the campaign as quickly as they have done, and they are a team full of confidence and they will fear absolutely nobody.
Wellington Phoenix meanwhile are also starting to look the part this term and they know what it takes to win big games in this league.
There is plenty on the line here and with so much at stake, both sides may settle for a draw.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($4.20)
1-1 Draw
Newcastle Jets vs Adelaide United
Newcastle Jets ($3.80)
Adelaide United ($1.95)
Draw ($4.00)
It has been a tough start to the campaign for the Newcastle Jets, who are in the midst of a 3-game losing streak and things won’t get easier against Adelaide United here.
The Jets have just one win on the card this season and look to be struggling at both ends of the pitch currently.
Adelaide United meanwhile are finding their feet this term and have climbed into the top 3, somewhere they will be looking to stay for as long as possible.
This should be an entertaining one and whilst Newcastle will give it a go, Adelaide United should prevail here.
Betting tip: Adelaide United to win the match ($1.95)
Adelaide United to win 3-1
Western United vs Macarthur FC
Western United ($2.50)
Macarthur FC ($2.65)
Draw ($4.00)
Two sides hoping to climb into the playoff picture this season meet here, as Western United host Macarthur FC.
Neither side has hit their straps this term, with just 3 wins between them and confidence could be a touch flaky in both camps.
Macarthur sit 7th, following their draw with Brisbane Roar last week, whilst Western United are struggling a touch, down in 10th.
This doesn’t feel like a classic on paper and they may both settle for a draw.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($4.00)
1-1 Draw
Melbourne Victory vs Perth Glory
Melbourne Victory ($1.29)
Perth Glory ($11.50)
Draw ($7.00)
High flying Melbourne Victory are motoring along this season and next up is a visit from Perth Glory.
Victory are in hot pursuit of Auckland FC at the top of the tree and staying in touch for as long as possible will be their aim.
Perth Glory meanwhile have just one point to their name and have been shipping goals for fun this season.
This could be ugly for Perth Glory, with a big home win feeling guaranteed.
Betting tip: Melbourne Victory to win the match ($1.29)
Melbourne Victory to win 4-0
Central Coast Mariners vs Sydney FC
Central Coast Mariners ($3.40)
Sydney FC ($2.15)
Draw ($3.70)
Defending champions Central Coast Mariners have hit a bit of a bump this season and they will be looking to find form once more against Sydney FC.
A win last time out should give Central Coast a huge boost and they know that they have the personnel to go well this season, if they can rekindle their form.
Meanwhile, Sydney FC are comfortably in the playoff places, but they too don’t look to have fully hit their straps this season.
This will be tight but Central Coast look too well priced to turn down, especially at home.
Betting tip: Central Coast Mariners to win the match ($3.40)
Central Coast Mariners to win 2-1
